    Levy: We don't show the names because people are assholes, and will message them.

    An underrated factor in ELO guessing is when a player chooses to resign. 900s don't like to resign if there are pieces on the board.

      As a 1400 myself I was shocked how low they both guessed. People at my level make those kind of blunders all the time, and sub 1000 players would be a lot less principled (eg. black trading down a rook when they were up a queen, white spotting the pinned pawn and playing Nd4)

    You would never guess me ELO from a single one of my games. I'm like Andrea Botez, I have two modes, expert or incompetent. Current blitz rating is 1950 and rapid is 1996. USCF is 1700-something but I haven't played in a tournament in 5 years. I quit chess when I graduated high school and didn't play at all for a few years. I can absolutely crush higher rated opponents and then just forget how the pieces move and drop a piece.

    I'm 1430 guessing before mute happens for context.
    Game 1: 1600
    Pretty happy with this since I was leaning it was a bit better than the typical tactics/positions set up in games I play, assuming the queen loss was in fact a mouse slip. Was surprised when Hikaru started saying 900ish since 900 games usually look weaker to me.
    Game 2: 1900
    Felt obviously much better than my level just because of seemingly perfect set ups and stuff. I went under 2000 because there was a bigger point gap at the end and I assume 2000+ games will usually be played for less material gap without significantly drawn out chain tactics.
    Game 3: 1500
    Feels similar to my level again in terms of tactics and positional play. Lmao guessed way low on this, didnt feel like great play but I guess it was, shows my understanding heh.
    Game 4: 600
    opening bishop trapped in its own pawns on d7, white playing g4, much lower than me obviously. Below 900 watching rest of game. Understands concepts like doubling rooks and pinning queen to king so higher than 400 for sure.
    Game 5: 900
    This is what 900 to 1000 feels like to me typically when watching it. sorta organized opening played poorly and hanging a rook like that. Feels better than the last game which was 900 but... that game felt like an anomaly... The hung pieces feel like accidents than lack of understanding I guess ?
    ... how was this 1600 though o.o

      @@TheRaveRobber no, that's the point, the black rook and queen point to the same blocking square. If white checks with their queen on c8, black just blocks with a rook to d8 and the white queen cannot take it with another check, it is defended by the black queen. Still probably winning for white, but I just don't see a mate. I am a 1000ish player though, so that might explain it.
